SOUTH AFRICAN 4X4

THE VOORTREKKER
MONUMENT WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME
AGAIN, THIS AFTER THE
SOLEMN EDIFICE HAD
TO BEAR WITNESS TO
THE SOUTH AFRICAN 4X4
AND OUTDOOR SHOW
RECENTLY.
B
y all accounts the event was a massive success
and organisers plan to create an even bigger
show stopper with more activities for 4x4 and
outdoor enthusiasts and their families next year.
FarmCity made headlines at the event by being awarded
the best outdoor exhibition which was attended by over
20 000 people. FarmCity used the opportunity to exhibit
their outdoor lifestyle products, which included camping
and braai-equipment.
The criteria for the award included that the stand had
to deliver clear and effective brand communication that
reaches, entertains and informs the audience of
the exhibitor’s key messages using traditional
or new mediums. While the design of the stand
had to successfully convey the exhibitors’ brand
through visibility, accessibility, use of colour and
form and creative use of the built environment.
The stand also had to be aesthetically pleasing,
leaving an enduring impression and attracting
the audience.
A FarmCity representative said they were very
pleased to win the award and look forward to
making an even bigger impression next year!

behoorlik by die deure uitgeloop en lang rye het
alreeds vroeg gestaan vir die mense wat nie die
winskopies wou misloop nie. Prodist se Basecamp
kampstoele wat op die openingspromosie was
het baie goed gedoen en basies uitverkoop teen
die einde van die dag.
Personeel van omliggende Mica winkels het
Cronje kom help met sy openingsgeleentheid.
Die winkel bestaan uit 1600m² vloerspasie
en ‘n verdere 400m² spasie aan buitekant vir
boumateriaal en grootmaat produkte. Die
winkel se reekse bestaan hoofsaaklik uit: verf,
besproeiing en tuinbou, swembad, gifstowwe,
huishoudelik, gereedskap en hardeware,
kraggereedskap, buitelewe, elektriese-en,
loodgietersware en bou.

NEW WAREHOUSE
SYSTEM BOOSTS
EFFICIENCY
PRODIST IMPLEMENTED
A NEW WAREHOUSE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
TO CONTROL THE
HIGH VOLUMES OF
RECEIVING AND PICKING
TRANSACTIONS.
DATASCOPE IS THE
SUPPLIER OF THE SYSTEM.
GOING LIVE WAS IN JUNE 2014. AN ADVANCED
WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THIS NATURE
IS NECESSARY IN A HIGH-SHELF WAREHOUSE WHERE
PICK FACES ARE COMBINED WITH A MULTIPLE BINNING
APPROACH. IT NOT ONLY PROVIDES BETTER CONTROL,
BUT ALSO IMPROVED SPEED AND ACCURACY.
D
atascope WMS is a paperless system whereby all stock
receipts, binning, picking and checkout process take place on
scanning devices, communicating by means of RF technology
with the WMS and ERP system. Continuous cycle counts will
ensure better stock control and bin accuracy which will result in faster and
correct picking of orders.
All items picked are controlled by means of “tote numbers” and “tracking
numbers”. Courier companies will also use these tracking numbers to create
waybills for effective deliveries.
Prodist is constantly trying to improve the system to cater for the different
products and customer requirements. In a warehouse of this size and
diversity, line items are on pick face level allocated to different areas. This
needs to be done to speed up picking. If an order contains products or
lines from different areas, it is picked by different pickers and will result in
separate invoices or delivery notes. A future project will include further
consolidation of different parcels into one invoice. Prodist will soon also
make some improvements to the way parcels are delivered. Delivery
on dispatch notes with a consolidated invoice is in the process of being
implemented.
Prodist also recently changed courier companies. EPX will deliver parcels to
most of the inland regions, and DHL to mostly coastal areas. DHL will also do
all deliveries from the Bethlehem warehouse. EPX has already incorporated
the parcel data from the new WMS system into their delivery system and
they can now scan parcels onto the truck without having to manually
recapture information.

ie doel van die
opedae was om
Prodist se klante
blootstelling
te gee aan die reekse asook
aan Prodist se verskaffers en
aktiwiteite. Die belangrikste
was egter die bekendstelling
van nuwe reekse, produkte en
konsepte,” het Brand Theunissen
(Besturende Direkteur: Prodist)
gesê.
Dieregesondheid,
skoonmaakmiddels,
motortoebehore, tuin en
bosbou, hardeware en
sweisgereedskap, besproeiing,
buitelewe en kampering,
verf en waterdigting asook
veiligheidsprodukte is van die
reekse wat uitgestal is.
Twee belangrike verwikkelinge
is tydens die opedae bekend
gestel: Eerstens kan bestellings
nou direk op Prodist se
webtuiste geplaas word by
www.prodist.co.za. Dié funksie
is volledig geïntegreer met
Prodist se pakhuis en is ná
plasing dadelik beskikbaar
vir verwerking. ‘n Verdere
voordeel hiervan is dat
voorraadbeskikbaarheid per
lynitem in die bestelmandjie
getoon word. Die tweede
verwikkeling behels dat
ongeveer 90 rakkonsepte
tans vir aflaai van die internet
beskikbaar is. Die konsepte,
kompleet met ‘n aanbevole
hoeveelheid en foto, is in
Excel-formaat op die internet
beskikbaar.
Volgens Theunissen het die klem
van die opedae ook op opleiding
en die oordra van kennis geval.
“Die skou was van groot waarde
vir hoofkantoorpersoneel soos
aankopers en produkbestuurders,
maar ook vanuit ‘n opleidingsen blootstellingsoogpunt
vir takbestuurders en ander
takpersoneel,” het hy
bygevoeg.

KIES JOU KOMPRESSOR REG
TEGNIESE WENKE OM JOU KOMPRESSOR NOG
BETER TE LAAT WERK:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Maak seker jy weet waarvoor die kompressor gebruik gaan word en kyk
na die beskikbare lug wat die kompressorkop kan lewer sodat die regte
grootte kompressor volgens jou behoeftes aangekoop word.
Moenie kompressors gebruik met ‘n verlengingskoord nie - die motor
gaan oorverhit en uitbrand en geen waarborg sal daarvoor toegestaan
word nie. Gebruik slegs die elektriese kabel wat saam met die kompressor verskaf word. Hierdie reël geld vir alle soorte en alle
handelsmerk elektriese kompressors.
Moet nie die druk opstel op die drukkontrole-klep om te kompenseer
vir te min lewering in lug nie. Die verkeerde kompressor wat nie ‘n
spesifieke taak kan verrig nie, sal skade berokken.
DIY kompressors beteken presies dit – DIY. DIY-eenhede is nie ontwerp
om heeldag gebruik te word vir take soos bande pomp en spreiwerk
nie. Daarvoor moet die duurder industriële tipes wat beskikbaar is in die
reeks gebruik word.
‘n Gietyster-kop kan gewoonlik geassosieer word met ‘n beter kwaliteit
en dus meer industriële-kompressor.
Trok-en trekkerbande, krammasjiene, motorhawe-toerusting,
gereelde spuitverf werk, ens benodig definitief ‘n industriële kwaliteit
kompressor.
•
•
Ons reeks kompressors gebruik SAE 30 olie en nie multi-graad nie.
Onderdele is beskikbaar en ons werkswinkelpersoneel is opgelei om
•
dienste en herstelwerk te kan hanteer.
Weereens: maak seker jy weet waarvoor die kompressor gebruik
gaan word sodat die regte eenheid vir die werk aanbeveel kan word.

he fly catcher exploits the survival
instincts of the fly in order to trap
it. Therefore the flies never become
immune to the bait as in the case of
insecticides.
It is especially female flies that find the Redtop
products irresistible. When used, the
reproduction cycle is broken which reduces the

ccording to Marley: “Poor performance irrigation systems
may waste up to half of the water during transportation
before it even reaches the crop. As the irrigation sector
accounts for over 50% of South Africa’s water usage, the
resultant loss caused by leaks is substantial. Marley provides sustainable
pipeline solutions for the irrigation market, supplying a comprehensive
range of pipes, fittings and accessories that meet stringent quality requirements to ensure robust, leak-free pipelines in agricultural applications and reticulation systems. Marley’s commitment to conserving water
as a fundamental resource of life drives us to offer sustainable solutions
for irrigation systems. This dedication can be seen throughout the entire
product lifecycle, from raw material selection, to delivery of pipes on-site.
Marley provides an overall solution for the irrigation market, supplying a
comprehensive range of pipes, fittings and accessories to meet stringent
quality requirements. Our range of Hydro-Wall (uPVC) and Aqua-Wall
(mPVC) as well as HDPE pipes, fittings and saddles have more than proven their worth in irrigation systems for robust, leak-free pipelines.”
